Finding the right pair of shorts can almost be as tedious as finding the right pair of jeans, but I'm here to tell you - they're out there! Here are 5 cute pairs I'm considering purchasing this season from stores like LOFT, New York & Co. and Lands' End Canvas, where lengths are a little more generous, the fit is forgiving and the taste level is top-notch.

2. Lands' End Canvas Seersucker Shorts (also in red), $45
Last summer I lived in Lands' End Canvas shorts - bought their girly cargos in every color they had. Looking forward to trying these seersucker beauties this season, so East Coast chic.

3. New York & Co. Sateen Blue Shorts, $32.95
Fashion bloggers like Penny Pincher Fashionista have been showcasing some amazing finds from New York & Co. this spring - I've got to get there on my next trip to the mall! First on my list: Hunting down these brilliant blue shorts that feel dressy and beg to be colorblocked.

I love the shorts you featured. I have "thick" (and very white) legs. Short shorts do not work for me - but these lengths are perfect (and sadly hard to find). Plus canvas/cotton shorts are so much cuter to me than jeans.
